The first Pennsylvania
State Flag was
authorized in 1799. The state Coat of
Arms was embroidered on a blue field on both sides of the
Pennsylvania State Flag.
The state Coat of Arms
on the Pennsylvania state flag, was that of
Provincial Pennsylvania's Penn family. It first appeared on
paper money issued by the state in 1777 and two years later
was adopted for display on the Pennsylvania State Flag.
During the Civil War,
many Pennsylvania regiments carried a modified version of the
Stars and Stripes as their Pennsylvania State Flag. Substituted for the field of stars on Old
Glory was the Pennsylvania Coat of Arms, resulting in a
make-shift Pennsylvania State Flag.
In June of 1907, an act
of the Pennsylvania General Assembly standardized the design
of the Pennsylvania State Flag and required that the field of
blue on the Pennsylvania State Flag, be the same color as the blue of the Flag of the United
States. Yes, like many state flags, the Pennsylvania
State Flag is blue. The Pennsylvania State Flag also
bears the state coat of arms. |
